FARM NOTES.

PRoFITABLENEss OF FARMING
There are different ways OF looking
at the proftableness e farming, and
the prospect Is rosy or gloomy accord :
ing to the standpoint from which 1t Is
viewed. If you want about the most
lugubrious opinion OF this business
that can be expressed, come TINS way
and we will show you where to fnd 1t.
We Will go to some place where the
fences are lying in tumbled down ruin,
the gates hanging by one hinge, the
barn a lop-sided, leaning pile; the
barnyard reeking swamp; the house
a leaking, dismal wreck; its windows
stuffed with old coats and hats-every-
thing devoid of paint or finish, ana
nothing In Its proper place or IN decent
condition. If you can fight your way
through the ours around the door to
the proprietor, ask him, while he eyes
you with strong suspicion, whether
farming pays. If he is not afraid that
his answer will give you some oppor-
tunity of cheating him, he will tell
YOU that farming is the worst business
In the world. Then, when you have
wsrlly backed out from among his
dogs. we'll make another visit. Let
us try a farm where fences, buildings
and Improvement are all substantial,
neat, first-class; where paint, window
glasses, etc., are abundant; where
everything gives evidence OF the thrift
and industry. As the proprietor turns
from some employment to greet you
frankly and heartily. ask him whether
farming pays. His answer is In his
SURROUNDINGS. Such contrasts are by
no means fancIfuI, and we have seen
then quite sharply defined on farms
in the same neighborhood possessing
naturally equal advantages. 1t is
pleasure to know that squalor Is being
rapidly and steadily driven from pro-
gressiye modern agriculture, and that
pictures of the kind first viewed are
becoming more rare from year to year.
The farm is as rule, an index to the
character of the farmer as well as an
exponent OF his industry and his
methods. Other things being equal,
much of the success or failure OF agri-
culture lies In the directing mind. II
this be vigorous, thoughtful, studious,
earnest, results may be depended on
to take care of themselves. The bulk |
Of the American people are living by |
farming, and the growth OF the coun-
.ry's wealth is sufficient proof that 1t
paws.

IN SICKNEss.-A sick horse that
cannot be induced to lie down in any
other way will often take TO u bed OF
clean, bright straw. The farmer who
desires to increase the size and quality
of his manure pile should use plenty of
bedding under his stock; besides the
increase Of fertilizers for his land he
will add much to the comfort of his
stock. Whether kept III stable or in
yards, it should be provided with a
clean place to sleep in at night and in
winter, with plenty of warm clean
bedding.

An effort is to be made, 1T seems, to
exterminate the condor, uniquely an
American bird, and believed to be the
highest flying. as well as the largest OF
The vulture tribe. South American
governments have issued mandates at
least to such effect. The condor lays
its eggs on the surfaces Of rocks, 5000
feet above the sea level and scars to an
altitude at least 5000 feet higher, de-
scending in a few seconds with rapid
,woop, from the cold rarefied air of the
stherial regions. to the hot, sultry level
Of the sea shore. The task OF destruc-
lion will not be an easy one with such
habits as these.

GINGER BEER.-A good family beer
for warm weather may be thus made:
Lump sugar, five pounds; crushed

and five gallons Of boiling water.
These should be mixed in vessel that
can be securely covered until cool, but
should be freely stirred from time to

add ten ounces of yeast and
keep in warm place to encourage the

filter, and let it stand to ferment again
for a short time, then take off the
scum and bottle, the corks being tied

an increase in the proportion of oxy-
gen in air may be affected, according
to German authority, by aspirating a
current of air, through several layers of
taffeta, which have been plunged in
alcohol or carbon disulphide, and then
coated with thin layer of caoutchouc.
Passage of air through four such layers
is said to reduce its proportion OF nitro
gen to five per cent.

THE small farms should always be
devoted to those crops that are not

be given it. Everything depends up.

FARMERS often complain that they
cannot afford TO raise their heifers
calves, as so snail proportion are
coed mixers. But this shows that
their present stock of cows is inferior,
for with thoroughbred males Of good
milking strains bred to good mixers
the heifer calves are almost sure to be
valuable. 1t is a rather singular fact
that the capacity to give large amount
of milk Is more apt to be transmitted
through the sire than the dam, and this
makes the Improvement OF milking
capacity easier thar. IAN equal improve
